is Process Monitor in the task manager or a separate app?

Hi
 
If you use Process Monitor, you'll be able to see what drives/UNC paths XSI is checking for when you open the browser.
 
I had a support case the other week that was pretty much the same problem.
After trying different things (most of which have been suggested in this thread) over the course of a couple of days, the customer wrote back to say that the problem has just magically gone away.

If I start a new project and try and save a clean scene into that project, I have the same problem. It doesn't look like it's anything in a particular project or scene that's causing the problem. It just looks as if XSI (and the flipbook) are checking all over the place for machines (or disks) that aren't there any more. No other software has this problem.

Did you check external files in your scene?

How can I check for that stuff?

And nothing through non-mapped, UNC pathways? Sorry, just being sure we’re talking about the same things.

We have shared storage on a mapped drive on one of our machines. The machine that's been removed had never been linked to in any way.
